In the true spirit of Prescott Bush, grandson and former Republican Florida Governor Jeb Bush has been cashing in his corporate chips, one by one. Most recently, Bush has stepped down from Tenet Healthcare, Inc after the company realized soaring profits, courtesy of the Affordable Care Act (aka ACA aka Obamacare). Add this to this, his winnings from the Barclays, BH Global Aviation and (Chinese-backed) BH Logistics. This adds up to some very significant chump change, to say the least. As Mr Bush, seriously contemplates a run for the 2016 GOP Presidential nomination, he faces some huge hurdles that dwarf the memories of the 2000 Florida hanging chads and the failings of his brother, George W. during his two terms in office. Should he, indeed, be nominated, Jeb Bushs Democratic opponent will define him the same way that the Obama 2012 campaign defined Mitt Romney. You may recall them listing all of Romneys offshore investments as he sang America the Beautiful in the background. Most polling services confirm that this tactic was annihilating and torpedoed the Romney-Ryan ticket which had been leading. To lable any anti-Obamacare rhetoric from Jeb Bush, in his quest for the presidency, as disingenuous would be the understatement of the year. You didnt mind taking the money, did you, Jeb? In the Bush World, principles are for sale.
